Medinilla cumingii

Common Name: Malaysian Orchid, Malaysian Grapes

Availabilty: In Stock

This Medinilla variety is a striking evergreen with small, light pink to deep purple berries and flowers that hang in a grape formation, changing into the darker magenta then purple as they mature.

Growing to 500 mm - 1.5 metres, this beautiful exotic and tropical plant grows as well indoors as it does outdoors in the right conditions. The unique flowers hang down from the plant to create a grape-like silhouette and the pretty pink and purple shades of the berry flowers are a lovely splash of colour in any room or garden. The flowers bloom almost year round, and the foliage is a glossy bright green big-leaf. Preferring a bright shade, these plants are perfect for container plantings.

Ideal for hedging or specimen planting, and wonderful in hanging pots as the flowers cascade over the side, creating quite a spectacle. Prefers a porous soil.

Frost tender, humidity hardy & wind tolerant.  Most well drained, rich soils; mulch in warmer months.  Full sun or part shade.
